Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

challenging informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

An exploration of structural racism in the UK and systematic racism as a whole. I think books like Eddo-Lodge's are important primers to raise awareness about racism and white privilege. It doesn't mean you have to agree with every single statement in the book, but it's about making you stand still, take a moment and reconsider your perspective. If that makes you, as a white person, feel uncomfortable, that's exactly the point. Contemplate it and speak to your peers about it.

I docked a point because I feel it could've been more thorough and maybe ever-so-slightly more nuanced, but I also recognize that this isn't a topic I'm qualified to speak about. 

I listened to the audio book, but I hope the print copy offers a thorough bibliography so that readers can explore the studies Eddo-Lodge cites for themselves.
